THE YALE-NEW HAVEN GAME.
Yale Wins Through the Umpiring of
Hamlin, a Yale Law Student-BOth
Teams Play a Good Game-Kell0gg's
Home Run.
In the presence of about three hundred
spectators, mostly students, the New Ravens
were yesterday defeated by the Yale team,
to z. 1t was expected that the Yales were
going to have some fun with their opponents,
but they nearly proved a match for them.
Had the New Ravens played as they did last
week they would have won. At two or
three points yesterday the fielding was loose
and costly. One serious drawback to the
New Ravens was the way the Yale boys ran
the bases, and to that, probably, more than
to anything else can be attributed the defeat
of the New Ravens.
The Yales went into the field first. Burns
led off with base hit, and it did not take
him long to steal second. Then Mellon made
nice hit over Noyes' head, and Burns
scored. Everybody cheered when Troy
made long hit to left field and got three
bases. He scored on wild pitch. That
ended the run getting for that inning.
The Yales half of the first inning netted
them two runs. Taylor was in a smiling
mood, and was SO kind that he presented the
first two men at the bat, Stagg and Kellogg,
with their bases on balls. Stagg stole third
and Kellogg second, and after two were out
Spencer made a hit that sent both home.
Very gracious, thought the students of
Mr.. Taylor.
For the second and third innings both sides
failed to score.
In the fourth inning Hunt led off with
base hit. He started to steal second, and
would have been put out if Murphy had
thrown the ball straight to Troy. Spencer
few out to Crowley, who made fine run
ming catch. Brigham hit to Owens, who had
plenty of time to throw to first, but he threw
wild and Hunt scored. NcConkey went out
on foul to Murphy, and the side would
then have been retired with no runs in if
Owens had not thrown wildly. A base hit
by Stewart sent Brigham home.
Kellogg made the grand stand echo with
cheers in the fifth inning when he made
home run. He batted long fly to Burns,
which the latter misjudged and it went over
his head. Then Noyes followed with base
hit, and Hunt with another safe hit which
sent Noyes home. Spencer batted fly to
Mellon, which he ran forward for, but
dropped Hunt started for third and got
there because Mellon could not pick up the
ball. and he scored. Spencer was thrown
out by Murphy while stealing second. Brig
ham flew out to Troy. McConkey made
hit to right field and tried to get three bases,
but Crowley's good throw retired him to
Owens.
In this inning the New Ravens had
chance to tie the score by punching two or
three hits. The bases were filed, but no.
body scored as Phalon struck out.
The New Ravens made their fourth run in
the seventh inning on an error of McConkey's
on Murphy's hit, steal, and two-base hit
by Mellon.
got to first on Burns dropping his fly, and
Brigham got his first on a tumble by Phalon.
Both scored.
In the eighth inning the New Ravens made
one run on singles by Phalon Tand aylor, a
put out and steal.
In the ninth inning the New Ravens had
another chance to tie the score. Murphy
first went out on fly to Hunt. Burns was
thrown out Mellon got to first on wild
throw of Stewards. Stagg for the second time
gave Troy his base on balls, as he dared not
risk letting him hit the ball, for Troy had
been making some terrific foul hits, and if
three of them had been a little further to
one side they wonld certainly have been
home runs. Then Phalon made base hit
and the bases were filed with two out. Tay-
lor walked to the plate with a firm determi-
nation to make another hit. He did it, send
ing hot liner just above Stages head into
center field. Mellon and Troy both scored.
Two men were then on bases, and couple
of hits would tie the score, but Crowley ended
all such hopes by knocking the ball directly
to Stage and the game was ended.
Brigham made one fine catch in left field,
and Halpin made a nice pickup. Halpin,
Murphy and Troy played an excellent game.
Owens work at third was not what it should
have been. Stage was hit hard at times, but
he was excellently supported. He struck
out but three men, the same number that
Taylor did.
NEW HAVEN. YALE.
